The owners of Hough Hall in Moston will welcome visitors to their first open day on Saturday, where they will be able to see inside the Tudor building, built on Hough Hall Road in 1502.

It is the first open day hosted by new owners Heather Mawhinney and Roger Barnard who bought the property last year, with a view to restoring it.

The celebrations begin at 11am and will continue throughout the afternoon, with performances by Roy Williams as King Henry VIII and children from the Whitemoss Fun Club, performing a scene from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Pupils from Moston Lane Primary School are also going to be entertaining the crowds with their demonstration of a Tudor dance.

There will be a raffle taking place during the afternoon, which has been sponsored by Moston Complementary Health Centre and Moston Lane Cafe, with all proceeds going to the Manchester Children's Hospital Charity.

The open day will provide the public with an opportunity to see the building and grounds of one of Moston's most historic sites first hand.

And those with a feeling for the supernatural may even get to see one of the Hall's three ghosts - the woman in black, the young boy, or even "Spanking" Roger Aytoun, who was said to be a war hero who fought at the Siege of Gibraltar.
